DWTS Season 21 - Episode Discussion - *Spoilers - Sleuthing*

I'm not really invested in the season, but having seen Derek dance his rear off live in 96F weather with about 100% humidity outside this summer on tour, I have a new found respect for him.  I think he's a brilliant dancer and choreographer, so I'll always root for him.  And, I love Bindi, although last night was a little too much.

Andy Grammar's story was very emotional, too.  It's so hard to believe he only had a couple of days with his mom after she learned she had breast cancer.  If he keeps improving, he'll be my favorite.

Didn't care for Alonso as a host this week though... (nor as a judge last week).
I actually really like Derek, but they are doing it again this season. They are really laying it on with Bindi. (Dancing last again last night; extra long, emotional footage; getting the first 10 of the season, etc....)
I like so many pairings I don't even know who to root for...

As to bolded, you and me both! He has gotten so obnoxious. I liked him when he was a contestant, but as a host or judge - he's awful.

This season is just okay for me. I miss Maks and wish Tony would get some decent partners. I miss Tristan too, wish they would bring him back.

I too get annoyed at Derek and his very able partners but last night won me over with Bindi. She's normally annoyingly positive and happy but last night showed great maturity in her.

Nick was awesome and Sharna is killing it with choreo this season - the very end of last nights dance was awesome but those camera angles were terrible with all those people in the way! I hope they win this season but its going to come down to a Bindi vs Nick showdown.

Tamar is also very good technique wise but sadly I just dont think she is connecting with the audience. Her package made me cry though.

Hayes is also improving every week and you can see he is working hard, I hope they go much further.

I hope Maks adds some proper ballroom critique next week - its lacking without Len.
And... where the argentine tangos at?

I'm just bitter that Tony hardly ever is paired up with someone who has any experience at all and Derek seems to get the better ones.

I'm looking forward to seeing how Max handles his duties as a judge! Maybe he'll be a keeper!
